Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, Delaware's unique position as a slave state with strong Union ties is explored through its complex history. The narrative highlights the state's significant contributions to the Union war effort, including troop mobilization and gunpowder production, while also addressing the Southern sympathizers who aided the Confederacy. Through compelling stories of figures like abolitionist Thomas Garrett and the experiences at Fort Delaware, the author uncovers the diverse and often conflicting loyalties that defined Delaware during this tumultuous period.
